I got the kindle paperwhite for Christmas. I really like it so far.

>>14512383
I feel like a lot of people sleep on kindles or other e-readers out of a sense of superiority and it bums me out

Kobo Clara HD, epub.
Love it. Just wish it had a physical button for turning pages.

>>14510466
E-books are for faggots and the elderly.
OP is both.

>>14511449
Same but personally I've found no problem with using .mobis

>>14510466
I gave e-books a shot but I just love paper too much. Does that make me a pseud?

>>14512931
Caring makes you a pseud. I like having all my books on one device and being able to find them for free online.

Nook glowlight 3.

Cheaper than the competitors, has a "night mode" screen that's very nice on the eyes. epub is the default format. No issues.

Also nook simple touch is nice, super cheap ($20 on eBay), has a microsd slot, reads epubs.

>having a web browser on your reader
i mean at this point we should add an sim card and the ability to call people. And color

i'm 100% fly mode, that shit aint for internet

>>14514074
ePub is already bunch of html pages in a zip archive.

>>14514343
I think the point that anon was trying to make was: There is no point in having a seperate device for reading if your are not going to use it exclusively for reading.
I appreciate the random info as I am a shameless trivia-slut, but I just don't see the connection between your factoid and the post you replied to.

>buy physical books
>read digital anyways
I'm a vain motherfukcker

>>14514394
Well, it's easier to just open up fanfiction.net than downloading through sepparate site.

>>14512908
What if you're a history major and need a book for a paper, but the kindle version is the only remotely affordable version?

The wifi adapter is integrated into the SoCs most of these companies are using, might as well use it if it's there

>>14514074
honestly I just want a e-ink tablet with colors

Which one has physical buttons?

>>14512053
damn that seems really fine, I'd love something that would allow me to read pdf easily instead of converting it to shitty epub

>>14515363
Why is that?

>>14512952
what do you do when the book you are looking for isn't on tpb or libgen? i'm on that situation right now

>>14512053
nice but expensive

What book?

Where do you guys get your e-books from? I've gotten some from b-ok.cc but for some reason finding a workable version of Lolita for my kindle was a huge pain. All the versions I could find had misspellings, word that were contracted to form non-words, and occasional missing characters. Not the best experience, for a while I thought it was part of the diary-concept. Anyone got any idea why this happened? Is the file based on some haphazard scan of a physical copy, or is it a problem with converting e-pub into mobi?

Samsung tab S2 8.0", pdf.
Perhaps I would prefer something else if I had experience, but that's what I bought 2-3 years ago and have been very satisfied and intending to use it until I die.

low contrast, blurry looking despite high res, and very ugly clunky software and lame hardware where buttons are a luxury and more than a few GB is also nonstandard. Doesn't get as dark as OLED either, anyone who reads in the sun has no friends.

>>14516546
The OCR sofware for converting the book is of poor quality. Use libgen maybe.
>>14516607
I also forgot to add that the hardware for phones is much better, the screens are much better and it is cheaper to buy a used phone with a good screen now and battery life is not a concern anymore, as it was when the kindle was released, which invalidates the usage of an ebook reader. I use epubs usually.

Yea this is great and all but this doesn't have much to do with why people don't want to read on their phones. It's about getting away from the dopamine sink that is a modern phone and getting a bit of peace without notifications, messages, and the like getting in the way.

I do wish my kindle had better contrast and a bit higher resolution though, and reading on my oneplus 7 pro is kind of great. Still really like my kindle though.

I really don't get this annoyance with notifications. You can turn them off or ignore them

>>14516688
Well you're on a literature forum so you probably have a better ability to focus than the general population

>>14515363
Mommy got me one for christmas, what a chad ereader. i need to dig out my library card so i can use overdrive.

Which one is the best choice for a patrician?

>>14517917
Kobo. Most stuff on Library Genesis is in epub format. Plus just fuck proprietary formats in general. It's a scummy thing Amazon does to lock people into their ecosystem.

>>14515363
What's the screen size on it? Does it have a backlight?

>>14510466
>not building up your physical book collection
It's such a good way to satisfy your 'collection instinct' without being something gay and retarded. And honestly, what are you gonna do when the bombs drop?

>>14519136
I can't speak for them feature-wise but can't Calibre just convert epubs into Amazon formats pretty quickly and easily?

>>14519341
Giving in to that instinct at all is retarded.

>>14516546
gutenberg, where else?

>>14519393
Yes, Thats what I do. You can download stuff off Libgen then calibre does the rest.

>>14519341
You can do both?

>>14514427
hell yeah

>>14516505
I was trying to find this book for a month and I found it on Mobilism. Cheers and God bless you anon.

>>14520757
this, buy hard covers from books that you really want or care and just download ebooks of the rest
